How we built our team: collaborating with partners to strengthen skills in pregnancy, delivery, and newborn care.

We describe how collaboration with outpatient community health centers and other disciplines resulted in the creation of a novel interdisciplinary inpatient maternal child health system that focuses on safety and collaboration. Our maternal child health faculty team includes a mix of fellowship- and non-fellowship-trained, inpatient- and outpatient-based family physicians. Our team provides a sustainable framework for faculty to practice both inpatient and outpatient maternity care and provides strong role models for our trainees.
